On to Phase Two
Many thanks to Lary Heath from Enluma who has done such a great job illuminating our upstairs classroom. But we aren't done. Phase Two will involve more electrical improvements to the upstairs. We are ready to start and we could use your help. If you are able, please donate. Thank you.
